I am currently a project assistant professor at the Research Center for the Early Universe (RESCEU) at the University of Tokyo.  My research interests are in cosmology and extragalactic astronomy.  In particular, I use gravitational lensing - the deflection of light by massive structures - to study:

• the physical properties of galaxies and how they evolve over time
• the distribution of dark matter in galaxies and galaxy clusters
• the cosmological parameters of our Universe

I am also a part-time lecturer at Waseda University.
